Dave Hunt wrote a book twenty years ago called <strong>A Woman Rides the Beast<\/strong> that needs to be revisited. I have friends who have joined the Catholic Church because they were seeking religion, and they have, without a doubt, found the ultimate religion. In Dave\u2019s book he shows accurately with very much Biblical documentation that this ultimate religion, the Catholic Church, is in fact the woman who rides the beast, a whore who has committed fornication with the kings of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1993 Dave recorded a pre-book video lecture which I have embedded. Take a look at the video and I believe you will find it very, very hard to argue with Dave\u2019s interpretation of Revelation 17:7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><object width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i1CZAt3T6tA?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><embed src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i1CZAt3T6tA?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Steve Blackwell Indywatchman Blog&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":96,"featured_media":30793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,89,45],"tags":[238,280,380,523,952,1748,2365,2366,6],"class_list":["post-15482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eschatology","category-road-to-rome","category-signs-of-the-times","tag-last-days","tag-eucharist","tag-roman-catholicism","tag-another-jesus","tag-roman-catholic-church","tag-dave-hunt","tag-endtimes","tag-a-woman-rides-the-beast","tag-roger-oakland","wpcat-88-id","wpcat-89-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
